So far i have booked some pretty average vacations:

Feb 18-25 Woodstone at Massanutten (presidents week)
May 25-28 Hershey Suites (Memorial weekend)
July 1-8 Wyndham Patriots Place (4th of July)

And am still looking for something for late August(beach, pool, sun) and a Selfish(Daddy only trip) around the end of December to someplace VERY warm...


What about you guys, do you have any place fun booked for 2012?

So far:

1/2-1/14 Orlando, Fl
2/17-2/24 Myrtle Beach, SC
4/8-4/15 Hancock, MA

So far all rentals for 2012. Total $ 654. 26 days or $25.15 per night. Maintenance fees would be twice or three times that amount.

Hoping to add a nice beach week.
 
2012 Travel Plans

Holiday Beach Resort, Phase II -- May (home resort)
Cruise vacation with family for 50th wedding anniversary -- June
Crestwood Resort, Whitefish, Mt -- August (to visit Glacier NP)

Looking forward to each and every one.
 
We're Not Good At Planning Far Ahead. (Shux Upon Us, Eh?)

Vacation Village At Parkway, Kissimmee FL, Jan. 7-14, 2012.

Wyndham Cypress Palms, Kissimmee FL, Jan. 14-21, 2012.

We snagged both reservations via RCI's 3-day $199 (+ tax) Extra Vacation Getaway sale that was extended to 4 days & later brought back for a couple of days because the web site was extra-glitchy during exactly the days that the sale was going on.

So far two weeks on the Big Island late May. Requests from SFX for Napa or Pacific Grove in October.

So far 2 of my home resorts;

Old Town Alexandria in late March (Cherry Blossom Festival!)
Port O Call (Hilton Head) in November

Used an AC to get Marriott Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert for mid Feb

And trying to get an exchange to Santa Fe for September or October!

Here's what we have so far:

Jan/Feb Ko Olino/Maui Ocean Club/Wailea Marriott
Apr Canyon Villas/Enclaves
Jun Aruba Surf Club
Sep OceanWatch
Nov Shadow Ridge

Still hoping for a summer beach exchange (dream on?), then something in October maybe in conjunction with a cruise.
 
Spring break- Mar/Apr Hilton Head
April 28 Hunter Mountain NY TAP Beer festival
May Ocean City Oceantime [home resort]
July Smugglers Notch Vt
 
I'm really excited for my 2012!!! (and my 2013, actually).

February -- Marriott Aruba Ocean Club
April -- Marriott Cypress Harbour
April -- Disney Cruise (Western Caribbean)
June -- HGVC Kings Land
June -- Marriott Maui Ocean Club
October -- Westin Princeville

In 2013, I hope to do our February trip to Harborside (or Westin St. John if really lucky) using StarOptions. For the June trip, I've made an exchange with a DVC TUGger and we'll go to Aulani, followed then by our Week 25 Maui Ocean Club.

And one of the best parts..... by renting out my second MOC week (and some creative trading, if I do say so myself), I have the MFs covered for 2012 and a possibility to repeat this for 2013 too. Not sure if this will always work, but when it does come together, I'm very happy!

The cruise of course....ouch!! But the kids are the right age....

Best,

Greg
